Tee Box 4: Dummy

400 Yards. Dummy.

Put the irons down and reach for the woods!
Picture
​In 1910, Albert Fowler of St. Louis, Missouri filed a patent for a wood golf club. His patent design claimed to improve the range for long distance clubs - drivers, spoons, and cleeks - through an oval shaft design. This is Albert Fowler’s only known patent.
Picture
In 1895, woods certainly existed, but no one had patented them yet.  Smart move Mr. Fowler - you're no Dummy!

Wait... I'm still confused as to why they call this hole "Dummy"...?
